GANDHAKASALA - RAW

The origins of this fragrant rice can be traced back to Wayanad district in Kerala. It was mostly grown by the tribal communities and is believed to be a competitor to the well known fragrant rice varieties like Basamati and Jasmine rice. With high disease resistant properties, nutritional value and great taste, Ghandhakasala was used for all family celebrations. It received the Geographical Indication (GI) status in 2010.

It is recommended to store rice in a cool, dry area. If it needs to be preserved for a long period, say over a month or more, dried neem leaves can be added into the pack/box. It is better to avoid storing in humid areas as this would cause pests to form faster. Since our heritage rice is purely organic, the husk is sweeter, which in turn could invite pests if not stored as suggested above.
